About

A blog by a group of Malaysian pharmacists (hence ‘myPharmacists’; on a side note, ‘myPharmacists’ also means ‘my pharmacists’ – how some people fondly refer to their regular pharmacists) to share their working experience and clinical knowledge with the aspiration to be better pharmacists. This blog also aims to share any pharmacy updates and related issues with fellow pharmacists. Occasional rantings are meant to be taken lightly.

Every day, we are learning and hence, we welcome comments and views from pharmacists out there. We look forward to hear from you at our blog. Alternatively, you can also drop us a line at bpharmer05[at]gmail[dot]com.
